70.3 Half Ironman World Champs recap

The last race of the season has come to a close. It was not the day I was
hoping for but I am glad I made the trip out to Clearwater to compete.

The competition this year was amazing and a lot of the pros brought their A
game. The pace of the swim and the bike would have blown up the competition
every other year but for some reason 40 guys managed to hold on for those
disciplines. Which was spectacular as we were riding at 47km/hr (29miles/hr)
for the 90km bike, and this was not because of the drafting, it was a
relatively clean race but the advantage of riding 10meters apart is still an
advantage, but totally legal. It was not until the run where everyone
started to pay, including me... and pay big time I did!

I tried to make a move with 30km to go on the bike but I guess I had a big
target on my back and was not able to sneak away, apologies to the other 3
(Philip Graves, Fraser Cartmel and Andrew starykowwicz) for getting stuck
with me. They were riding strong and I am sure a break would have lasted
under different circumstances.

I was still in contention for a strong top ten finish with 5km to go. The
mind wanted it but the body just wouldn't respond. I suppose Kona was still
a little in my legs and the lack of quality speed work was not ideal given
the speed of the field.

I eventually groveled home because there were no cars in sight to hitch a
ride with and the spectators and volunteers kept my spirits high. My
position at the end of the day, well, it was worse than I thought it was so
let's not talk about it.

Instead we should talk of Michael Raelert of Germany. His older brother
Andreas finished second to me last year at this events and went on to a 3rd
place finish at Ironman World Championships in Kona this year. Michael had a
great race today which he finished off with a 1:09:05 half marathon run that
gave him a finish time of 3hrs 34min, 6 minutes faster than my world record
last year. Congratulation to you both and everyone else who made it to the
finish today.

Oh well, I have packed my bike and sent it off for a courier, so now it is
vacation time for the next 2 weeks.

Thanks to everyone for all the support over the year. For me it has been
exciting 8 months and would not have been possible without all the help and
support from a large number of people. You all know who you are, so thanks
big time.

Until next time,

Terenzo Bozzone, out!

2009 WORLD 70.3 CHAMPIONSHIP PRESS CONFERENCE

70.3 Half Ironman World Champs

Hi guys,

So tomorrow is the Half Ironman World champs here in Clearwater Beach, Florida. I am entering the race as defending Champion with the race number 1 on my back.

Recovery after Kona has gone well and I have managed to get a few speed workouts done so my body should be in shape and ready to go when we kick off tomorrow.

We start at 6:45 Eastern Standard Time, which is the middle of the night back in NZ. You can follow the race on www.ironman.com or my twitter at http://twitter.com/terenzo1. I will also get an update posted as soon as I can after the race.

Well, this is the last race of the season for me, so hopefully I can go out with a bang not a bomb!
